  I have a like/dislike attitude towards Michael Wolff. He's extremely interesting to listen to once you get past the stuttering and his constant habit of interrupting Joanna Coles. He's probably not an easy man to live with. How he managed to marry a lovely, much younger woman is beyond me. I watched the video last night where Coles and Wolff  discuss what's inside Trump's brain. Wolff believes it's the beginning of the end for Trump. It did give me some relief when he also mentioned how fleeting these people in politics are. So, if the orange man's time is near, that leaves us with JD Vance. Personally, I think Vance is an enigma. We really don't know where he stands politically because he isn't actually a politician. Wolff mentions Vance's book, 'Hillbilly Elegy,' which he concedes is a very good book. Wolff believes he's a writer, not a politician. I read the book many years ago and will agree with Wolff- Vance can write. He got into...

  We know he's void of any real human characteristics except for rage and the need for instant gratification. This image - it gives me shivers. I cannot look away from it. I can't stop thinking about it. Everyone but Trump is concerned for the welfare of a man who fainted during whatever the hell it was- a backslapping party, it doesn't matter. This image captures everything Donald J Trump isn't- Compassionate, empathetic, he's not even interested in the welfare of another person. Not Trump. The expression on his face is of one who is highly annoyed by the interruption. Or maybe he's just so mentally and physically impaired he can no longer put up the pretense he's competent anymore. I'm not sure how others are perceiving this very candid moment. I find it terrifying. This image should be printed out and nailed to every building in this country. Trump wants his face plastered everywhere? Well, this is the one that defines who he is. I don't even want...

 Every time I see mention that the president of Mexico was groped by a disgusting slime of a diseased piece of garbage it triggers too many memories of times I've been in these situations. I'm pretty sure I would not have handled it the same way the president did, but looking back at times I was sexually assaulted I did nothing because it's so unreal. The fact that a man had the gall to fondle my breasts or grope my bottom or slide his hand between my legs is difficult to comprehend. I don't even have the words. Rage. I feel rage. And I have felt fear so intense I don't dare to breathe.  The other day I caught an interview with Scott Galloway, who wrote the book, 'Notes on Being a Man.' Men apparently are feeling disillusioned. They can't understand why women would rather spend time with their besties or be alone rather than date a sniveling, whining turd who is angry when women don't allow him to be masculine. I grew up in a time where we were expec...

  I read an article in a rag that caught my eye. It claims Eric Trump wants a full investigation into the assassination attempt on his daddy. He wants full disclosure regarding who exactly Matthew Crooks was. I'm going to guess Eric didn't pass this by the orange man aaaand I'm betting Eric will be visited by a group of men in dark suits who tell him to stfu. Let me explain to you, Eric, what exactly happened. Your dad knew he was in trouble in the polls. He really thought he was going to lose. He doesn't like to lose and will do anything he can to win, even if a few people die. That's just collateral damage. Lara mentions FIL doesn't like to talk about that night, which is odd, isn't it Eric, since your father babbles on about everything. Everything except this. It's not because he was traumatized. You have to have human DNA to be able to feel shitty about what happened that day. He doesn't talk about it because he knows exactly what happened and it...

  Bread, fish, lake, hike, song. New York has a new mayor. Tuesday was a very good night.  It has been one year. November 5th, 2024. It was a very bad night. I've spent the last few days preparing side dishes for Thanksgiving, then freezing them. Since it's all vegetarian, they'll all be main side dishes. Today is soup and bowls day at the local tavern. (Photos later) I'm not a soup person, but it's a charity event. I'm all for charity. Maybe I can have a bowl of Chablis. "I will feed the children!" Stephen Miller in the role of Gollum  (((Gollum whispers))) "I won't feed the children!" Lately YouTube thinks I will enjoy gasping at filtered versus unfiltered photos of celebrities and influencers. YouTube is right.  George Clooney admits it was a mistake to replace Biden with Kamala Harris. Thank-you, George for that wonderful insight.  Normally I don't go for these Netflix series where aging stars are sleuthing and getting into troubl...

  Me and Joe - we like trains. When I was younger sitting in coach with all the other poor saps didn't bother me. It's when they start talking we have a problem. I've taken the Greyhound a few times and would choose to walk with thumbtacks in my shoes before I ever get on another bus again. Talk about drama. Yes, it is like the scene from, 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles where couples engage in coitus, drunks sing or argue, men hit on women and in my case, the last time I traveled by bus, I sat next to a farm boy who was coming back from his Mama's funeral. And the stupid bus driver ran over a spike so we were stranded in the middle of the Mojave desert. I don't like to fly. Not because the plane goes up in the sky, but because of all the preflight shenanigans. As an introvert I cannot deal. I've seen enough videos lately where people just go batty due to alcohol, drugs or both. At least on a train I can get off. The last trip was one of those adventures whe...

Arbeit Macht Frei . These are the words millions of Jews looked upon as they were marched into Auschwitz and Dachau, most to never leave the concentration camps, never to be allowed to go home, never to touch a loved one, never to know there were people coming for them.  Arbeit Macht Frei was also used recently on a float sponsored by a Catholic church in Hanover, Pennsylvania. For many people who stood on the sidelines they realized with shock and anger where they had seen those words- at the entrance gates to the death camps during the rule of a mad man who planned the annihilation of Jews, Romanis, the elderly, disabled and anyone who didn't agree with his ideology. Bishop Senior, condemns the action and claims the sign was never shown in the design for approval. No names are given regarding who was responsible for making the sign. I'm sure they will claim ignorance. How is that possible? Anyone who is familiar with these words knows exactly where they came from. This seems ...

  What's the word for when you find something both hilarious and disturbing? I think I'll make something up and see where it goes. How about hibing? Hurbing? Yeah, I like that. I find this phenomenon of children calling out, "6-7," fascinating and hurbing. It has no meaning, yet, it's a real thing. Children are going about babbling, "6-7." I asked an expert, a twelve year old. Word is it originated from a rap song. Dictionary.com has titled it, word of the year.  Uh, it's not a word. So hurbing. Do not confuse Dictionary.com with the respected Oxford dictionary who has given the idiom, "brain rot," top billing this year. Perhaps they were thinking about children and mindless outbursts. 6-7. 6-7. 6-7. It is catchy, I must say.  Shakespeare made up words all the time. He's been credited with creating over 1,700 words, although this is questionable. People may have been using these words and he was the first to write them down.  Perhaps we...

  Things that made me look. Erika Kirk and JD Vance. Something going on there, folks  Trump and his nukes. Have y'all not seen Dr. Strangelove?!  Going to Wikipedia to read about Dr. Strangelove. A missing thirteen year old girl was found in a box in a basement.  An eighty year old woman is found dead on an island after someone noticed she didn't make it back to the cruise ship. Heidi Klum's Halloween costume this year. My bank account. A recipe for sugar free eggnog. No such thing. If that bear got a bucket off his face. Is Eva Marie Saint still alive? Yes. 101.  Next week's weather outlook. Still no heat in apartment. AI can sort out the green potatoes which are toxic to humans. A man wants to know if he's the asshole because he doesn't treat his partner's children like his own.  A book review by Berthold Gambrel.  Searching for book.
